The UF Center for Engineering Human Performance and Wellness brings together experts from the Herbert Wertheim College of Engineering and the College of Health and Human Performance to study how wearable sensors, robotics and advanced data analysis can be used to monitor, understand and optimize how people move, recover and live. 

In a collaboration between UF’s biomedical engineering and neurosurgery departments, UF researchers are testing the potential of nanoparticle imaging to boost cancer immunity.

A recent study featuring research by University of Florida Engineering Professor Wesley Bolch, Ph.D., links exposure to radiation from medical imaging to a small-but-significant risk of blood cancers among children and adolescents. 

UF Ph.D. student Cameron Crouse is rolling his experiences, knowledge and insight as a type 1 diabetes patient into his graduate research, hoping to find a diabetes treatment at the cellular level through tissue engineering.

Equipped with a cutting-edge nanoparticle imaging technology, federal funds and a quest to quash pain, researchers at the University of Florida are working to revolutionize osteoarthritis treatments.

Armed with a $2.7 million grant from the National Institutes of Health, University of Florida biomedical professor Ivana Parker, Ph.D., is targeting one of the most common – and dangerous – infections in women.  

University of Florida Distinguished Professor Christine Schmidt has been elected to the National Academy of Medicine. This prestigious honor follows her election earlier this year to the National Academy of Engineering, making her one of the few exceptional individuals to be recognized by both academies.

Christine Schmidt, a UF distinguished professor, was honored Sunday among some of the country’s most notable engineers when she was formally inducted into the 2024 class of the National Academy of Engineering.

UF scientists are asking the question: Why do people experience pain differently? The answer may be found in a surprising place: valuable human tissue that would otherwise be thrown away after surgery.

The Herbert Wertheim College of Engineering proudly announces that eight of our faculty members have been honored with the 2024 National Science Foundation (NSF) Early CAREER Awards.
